When Pirlo was the last one to step onto the court, his expression had become high-spirited, and his youthful and handsome face was filled with determination.
He held his head high and stood with his teammates for the final photo.
When Aldridge came out of the tunnel, he immediately attracted the attention of the camera.
He stood on the sidelines and observed Pirlo's demeanor, which reassured him a little.
Unlike Trezeguet, who returned to Europe from Argentina, it was as if he came from the countryside to a big city. He was not afraid of tigers when he was born, and he only relied on hard work to create his own sky.
Under the influence of the Italian football atmosphere, Pirlo appears to be very calm-minded, which affects his mentality. It has advantages and disadvantages. This kind of player has a high football intelligence because he understands what qualities a good player should have. The disadvantage is that sometimes he is too
Being too rational leads to a lack of energy to ignore things.
When he looked at himself, he was worried about his lack of strength, especially today when he faced the traditional giant Liverpool.
Different from playing Aldridge against Tottenham and starting him, this game is still a final that determines the championship.
Sometimes players will be confused, and someone needs to remind them at critical moments.
If Aldridge said to Pirlo: Yes, you are still young, just wait, we are not in a hurry, and I will not put pressure on you, just sit on the bench.
In this case, Aldridge feels that Pirlo might sit on the bench forever.
You should bravely cross this hurdle before you, so that you can be completely transformed.
Is he young?
young.
But so what if you are young?
Was Rooney young when he became famous? Was Owen young when he became famous? Shearer, Redknapp Jr., Giggs, Fowler, and later Cesc Fabregas, etc. These are not stars from other leagues, but
In the Premier League.
In terms of ability and talent, Aldridge does not think that Pirlo is inferior to any contemporary or latecomers. In the past season, Pirlo has integrated into Millwall's tactical system through more than half a year of training, and Aldridge does not have high requirements for him.
Just sort out the midfield, and don't pursue too much other things. Just insert long shots and so on. Just do what you can. If you can't, no one will blame you.
"The 1995-96 English FA Cup final is about to begin. The two teams entering the final this year are Liverpool and Millwall. Both teams are from the top leagues. In terms of heritage and background, Liverpool is naturally
No one knows it, but this season Millwall caused a youth storm in the Premier League. They won the league runner-up and the League Cup championship. Every season, there are always
The newly promoted teams have surprised us, such as Leeds United, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, etc. in the past few years. This year's Millwall has shined, and many of their players have grown into Premier League stars. In Aldridge-Howe
Under Er's coaching, Millwall's tactics have also become a highlight of the Premier League. Countless football commentators are now analyzing Millwall's tactics, and the debate is very fierce."
"We saw Millwall's starting lineup today. It seems that Hall has completely given up on the 442 formation. In the past two rounds of the league, what appeared in front of us was a 433 formation, and the same is true today. Starting goalkeeper: Keller. Defender:
In the squad, Larson plays the left winger position, while the right winger is Ukrainian teenager Shevchenko. Liverpool's starting lineup, goalkeeper: James. Defenders: Jones, Wright Scales, Ludo
K. Midfielder: McAteer, Barnes, Redknapp, McManaman. Forwards: Fowler, Collymore. Liverpool, the second strongest offensive power in the league, faced off against Mill, the third strongest offensive power.
Wall, it looks like it's going to be a scoring battle today."
After the players from both sides shook hands, Nedved, who served as captain on the field, walked to the referee and waited for the right to kick off.
The Liverpool fans in the stands sang loudly at the end, and then began to cheer for the team, and the Millwall fans were not to be outdone.
But their singing has changed.
"Everyone likes us, but we still don't care!"
Hearing this kind of singing, Aldridge couldn't help but smile knowingly. This is Millwall's character.
Millwall kicked off first and the game kicked off.
In the first five minutes of the game, Millwall played a bit conservatively, just back and forth in the midfield. This was to familiarize themselves with the field and the feel of the ball. The ball rolled on different grass, and the speed and trajectory would be slightly different.
The ball feels it the most.
At the same time, it is also a kind of observation and testing to see what Liverpool's posture is today.
Most of Liverpool's main players had a great time yesterday, but they were obviously sluggish as soon as they came on the field today.
Aldridge sneered in his heart: If they lose to these sick donkeys, will Millwall still be called a mad lion?
He waved his hand lightly and gave clear instructions to the field: attack, no more ink.
Pirlo serves as the organizing midfielder today. He is extremely focused, observes before catching the ball, runs without the ball, and basically thinks about what to do next before getting the ball.
In the locker room, Aldridge's roar at him cheered him up completely. He not only needed confidence in himself, but also needed others to give him confidence, and Aldridge gave him all of this!
Liverpool focuses on marking Nedvěd, but Nedvěd often hits the ball with one kick when running in a wide range, so that the exhausted Liverpool players can't even touch his jersey, and the organization's ball rights are always at the feet of Pirlo.
When faced with a crazy press, Pirlo released the ball very easily.
Zambrotta and Thuram came forward to assist, and Millwall's offensive advantage soon became apparent.
Liverpool obviously couldn't keep up with their pace.
Fatty Rudok was beaten by Thuram and Shevchenko's one-two and fell down after chasing him. Thuram dribbled the ball and passed the ball without any hurry. He went into the penalty area and forced Liverpool
The defense had to press against him. After he attracted the defensive players, he passed back and passed the ball to the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Shevchenko, who cut inside midway, did not touch the ball and deliberately missed it, shaking the Liverpool defender again. This led to Nedvěd's long shot from the front of the penalty area unmarked.
Facing the ball, a powerful and heavy volley flew out from his feet. Nedvěd watched the trajectory of the ball with firm eyes.
David James stood there stupidly, not reacting at all. He had just stared at Shevchenko, thinking that Shevchenko would get the ball from Thuram's pass. As a result, the opponent missed the ball and inside
DeWide followed up with a long shot that hit the other side of the goal. James straightened up and spread his hands helplessly.
What is the defense doing?
"The ball went in! In the 12th minute of the game, Deweide knocked on Liverpool's door with a blast. Liverpool was obviously slow to enter the game. They seemed unable to run. Millwall created partial situations through interspersed movements.
Numerous advantage. Unbelievable, there are more Millwall players in front of Liverpool, Nedved opened the scoring for Millwall, will they become the double cup champions this season?!"
Nedvěd ran towards the corner flag with his head held high, and then kissed the jersey emblem in front of tens of thousands of Lions fans in the stands. His teammates who caught up with him clenched their fists and shouted wildly.
Aldrich closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly, moving them up and down in front of him.
This game is actually the type of tactics Millwall will play next season.
The combination of wing and center means that in addition to the midfielder who is holding back, there are also full-backs as the starting point of the attack, which can lead to an overall explosion from both sides.
Nedved's organizational role will be weakened, but his threat to the opponent's goal will skyrocket, and he will have to break into the penalty area more frequently to score directly! And his presence will also directly attract defensive attention to Pirlo, allowing Pirlo to
There is more room for play and they complement each other.
Liverpool started to attack fiercely after losing the ball, but Millwall was not afraid of their tactics of crosses from the wing. Redknapp tried to break through with the ball but Makelele intercepted the ball. Pirlo immediately rushed forward.
, Makelele passed the ball to his feet without hesitation.
Pirlo dribbled the ball forward, and after completing a collision with Nedvěd, he came to the penalty area. The opponent's defender Scales came up, Pirlo calmly went straight into the penalty area, and rushed straight into the penalty area from the right.
Shevchenko met the ball and fired furiously. James was caught off guard again, and his save was too late. The ball rolled under his arm and into the net.
"In the first 20 minutes, Millwall led by two goals! What are Liverpool doing? They are completely out of shape. Millwall played admirably. This counterattack completely penetrated Liverpool's defense, and there were still nine days to go before ten.
Seven-year-old Italian boy Pirlo, his calm through ball provided an assist to his teammates. Uk
The Dutchman Shevchenko was eager to make a contribution and chose to shoot by himself. Fortunately, he scored the ball. Otherwise, he would have wasted a golden opportunity, because on the other side, Trezeguet and Larsson were outflanking him. As long as Shevchenko
If Coe passes the ball, then the two teammates can hit the empty goal. In any case, Millwall leads by two goals!"
After Shevchenko scored, he rushed towards Pirlo who assisted him, but Pirlo turned around and ran towards the coaching bench.
Aldridge was surrounded by people. Pirlo rushed to Aldridge. Aldridge held his head and asked frantically: "How is it? How is it? Are you okay? Tell me, you
Can you withstand such a competition?"
Pirlo hugged Aldrich tightly and shouted excitedly: "Boss, I have no problem! I have no problem!"
"Not only is it okay, you also have to enjoy the game! This is your stage! Tell the world, your name is Pirlo, you are not the next Baggio, you are you, Pirlo!"
The whole team came together to celebrate the second goal.
Liverpool were completely blindsided.
Evans was at his wits end.
He couldn't even figure out who among Millwall's attacking midfielders was the greater threat? Nedved or Pirlo?
The former scored a goal and the latter assisted.
Millwall's offense is hard to guard against, not to mention that after Redknapp intercepts the ball, there is only one defensive midfielder in the backcourt. Even if there are two defensive midfielders, they will only be played one by one.
After the celebration, Aldrich waved his arms to the stands from the sidelines to signal: cheer louder.
This is London, let Liverpudlians fear this place!
Liverpool still have to attack. If they don't attack, they will be watching their opponents win the championship.
But today Millwall's performance was top-notch. The main players who had rested for more than ten days performed well. On the basis of teamwork, their individual performances were also amazing!
After Larson cooperated with Zambrotta on the left wing, he dribbled the ball and cut inside. After dribbling the ball horizontally, he deceived Wright with a fake move and then changed lanes and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing the attacking James, he deftly pushed with one kick.
Shoot, the ball rolled between James' legs and penetrated both the small and large doors!
Thirty-six minutes into the first half, Millwall led by three goals!
Liverpool were completely beaten and confused!
The more they attacked, the more disorganized they became.
Before the end of the first half, Millwall went through a series of smooth passes and cuts. Trezeguet leaned against Scales in the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest and passed it back to the inside player who came up into the penalty area.
Devide, who once again sent the ball into Liverpool's goal with a volley.
4:0
A crazy score was achieved in the first half!
Nedved ran all over the field and even took off his jersey, revealing his masculine and muscular body.
The flashing lights on the sidelines never stopped, making people’s eyes unbearable.
Millwall's ambition and united effort completely destroyed Liverpool in the first half!
